CPI(M) will fight for
people’s right to run their own panchayats; this would be the prime
agenda of the party in coming Panchayat Elections. The CPI(M) West
Bengal State Committee Meeting has resolved that the party would
participate in Panchayat Election with this agenda. In a statement issued to
the press the Party State Committee stated that the meeting widely
discussed about the preparation for panchayat election. Party Polit
Bureau member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee while expressing concern stated
that the processing is on to curb down the people’s democratic power and
right to run their panchayats, what the Left Front Government had
ensured earlier in its regime. This would be menacing to the panchayati
system in our state. The party would therefore fight for the people’s
right in coming panchayat election. The ruling party is already trying
to hold the election earlier before the scheduled time. Come what
exertion of power may the party would combat the election resisting
that. Also the poor working class women are to be organized to take part
in this election. Party State Secretary
Biman Basu in his speech stated that the political significance of this
panchayat election is to safeguard democracy and to reestablish the long
tradition of left movement in the state. The political equivalence is
also to be established in this election. Organizing poor people in vast
rural areas would be the prime task to make a complete unified ‘Left
Front’ before election. Left Front would organize
an open rally on 17th November in Kolkata against the series of attacks
on women in the state. Basu averred that all sections of people are to
be organized to combat attack on women. All Left mass organizations on a
joint effort would transform this rally in a huge mass meeting. The State Committee has
also supported the all India General Strike on 20-21 February jointly
called by all trade unions. The party would initiate all effort to
succeed the strike, stated Biman Basu. The meeting however
discussed about the political situation in the districts and progress of
the party organizations there. Biman Basu later stated that Party
Committees have to be activated more. Functions of local and zonal
committee members are to be properly evaluated to improve considerably. The Party Secretary
Prakash Karat elaborated the decisions taken by the Central Committee
and recent political situation also. He stated that the Central
Government is taking bold steps on behalf of both internal and foreign
capital. Hike in petro-price, deregulating cooking gas, approval of FDI
in retail sector, disinvesting profitable public sector industries,
deregulating fertilizer price, de-subsidizing food are the anti-people
steps taken by the Central Government. The scams and corruptions of
Congress and BJP are being exposed in these days. Left parties have
decided to launch movement against neo-liberalism.
